The Susan G. Komen Foundation, a prominent charity working to prevent and cure breast cancer, has pulled its funding of Planned Parenthood.

“We are alarmed and saddened that the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation appears to have succumbed to political pressure,” Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America said in a statement, according to CBS News. “Our greatest desire is for Komen to reconsider this policy and recommit to the partnership on which so many women count.”
